Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service was good but it appeared the wait staff at the pool was stretched as I never once had service there. Dining room waiters were all good & attentive but our table was given away in the first night when we went to specialty restaurant.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The main bathrooms could be better kept up— this is practically a new ship but moldy area under hand dryer in bathroom near the pool

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

This is a spa room in which the beds cannot be put together
